Greeting from Jenny

I have recently returned from a very rewarding visit to Sri Lanka and India, with my colleague and co-founder of Star Action, Stuart.

We try to visit Sri Lanka twice a year, if possible, but certainly each February, so we can personally check on the progress of all the up and running projects and oversee the initiation of new endeavours. This visit has been very fruitful and I am particularly excited about our new community education project in the remote and formerly war-torn East Coast village of Mankerny, and also our ‘build a toilet’ scheme in a very poor fishing community on the West Coast.

In India it was the greatest possible joy to re-visit our Save The Babies children’s orphanage, founded by Stuart’s daughter Kate when she was only 18. We are now hoping to build our delightful family a permanent home and our ‘buy-a-brick appeal’ will hopefully help us to achieve this.
